Chicken Apple Maple Mustard Salads
Chicken Apple Maple Mustard Salads is an amazing, healthy recipe with lots of fall flavors!
Usually I think bright flavors for spring and summer salads with lots of garden fresh ingredients.
Fall salads bring more harvest-y vibes, hence my reasoning for adding the cranberries, apples, and a maple mustard dressing.
Very similar to a honey mustard dressing, but with some autumn flare 😉
How to make Chicken Apple Maple Mustard Salads
Feel free to switch up the ingredients to fit your likes and dislikes.
Don’t like goat cheese? Maybe add feta or mozzarella.
Walnuts not your thing? Pecans or just some crunchy croutons can replace those.
The dressing is so simple!
But you could easily use a store bought honey mustard or even a balsamic vinaigrette if preferred.
To make the dressing add 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, kosher salt, and pepper to a bowl.
Then just whisk and it’s ready to go.
Next divide 6 to 8 cups of salad mix between 4 bowls or plates.
Or into containers if meal prepping.
This is just a bag of field greens, but I did add some fresh chopped spinach to it.
Then dice an apple and add to the salads.
I used a Honeycrisp apple because they are my favorite 🙂
If meal prepping you’ll want to cut the apples right before serving so they don’t brown.
Finally add some cooked, diced chicken, goat cheese, walnuts, and dried cranberries.
Chicken Apple Maple Mustard Salads are stunning if I do say so myself 🙂
Serve with the maple mustard dressing and enjoy all the flavors of fall in one delicious meal!
